I’ve got a couple of questions about running. 1. Timing starts on the first frame of movement, so you can switch perspectives, open your inventory, and open the menu. But does sneaking or jumping count as movement? 2. Can you change the game difficulty mid game? If so how do you know what difficulty you should put the run as for when you submit it? 3. On Java you can open the menu screen and it won’t take time off because only in game time counts, but does this work for bedrocks rules. For example let’s say that I had a run that was 45 minutes, but I spent 20 seconds in the menu screen. On Java this would mean the run would be 44 minutes and 40 seconds, but does this same rule apply for bedrock? Thank you for reading.

Can I use a phone timer for my speed run?

Are ore borders allowed in texture packs? It is a slight advantage because you can notice the ores better. If not I'll have to scrap using my UHC pack and make a new pack (or just default)

Not allowed

I plan on using RTX texture pack for a speedrun, I know the texture pack must not give advantage, but since the RTX packs usually render light differently, especially for the lava, how unfair is the advantage since I could see lava probably easier than people playing without RTX? Is my run going to be rejected?

i don't know yourdadtrolling, you should probably go on their discord and ask

RTX is allowed, as it seems to be officially supported by Mojang.

Question about resource packs:

Is low fire and brighter wither hearts considered and advantage that will invalidate a run?

Virginia, USA

I’m pretty sure that you can’t use any type of texture pack so I would just go use the normal Minecraft texture pack

Iraq

No you can but it just should not be an advantage

European Union

Can’t use low fire

Mexico

Do I need to be on stream to validate my speedrun?
